The Independent: Pornhub ban now covers more than a third of US states

9. It is freaking annoying ... all about eye-catching headlines for clicks

Another annoying one from today (alone) is the headline that the authorities in NOLA 'removed the bollards before the truck attack' as if it happened New Years Day morning or something. But then the article doesn't say when they were removed

In the early days of the internet there were 3rd-party age verification services, that weren't tied to porn sites. The porn sites would accept their certifications, but wouldn't get the users personal info or be responsible for verification of their own. These could be useful for other things too, like purchasing tobacco online, etc. Not sure why there's not been talk of the sites using those services instead of requiring people to provide state ID to them. I would imagine some of them still exist and if not, it's a business opportunity for someone.
